as the season comes close to an end iwould like to thank KMAC,BOCKMAN, BEESON, VANFAM7, USAWKS1, MMEDITZ, MCAUGUSTA, WPARENT, SCHROEDERMAN, WRESTLMOM, DSGOLDEN, SCHROEDERMOM, COACH ED,COKELY, MIKE JUBY ,SMOKEYCABIN JUST TO NAME A FEW. AND ALL THE OTHERS OUT THERE I MISSED BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT and i would get tired of typing.

you guys have helped me out so much on the insites of wrestling and how to help my boy and i am greatful, it is great we have a place like this, with so many fans of the sport to get advice from. every nite i come home i look forward to reading your posts and of course adding my 2 cents.

maybe in the summer we could pick a saturday and pick a place like a usawks out at the lake to meet or somthing like a once in a year reunion., just throwing a idea around. once again thanks and keep up with the good post.

How about we all meet up at the Expo Center in Topeka on .....oh I don't.....say the last weekend in March?

Thanks NIX,
Looking forward to meeting you in Ottawa on Sunday.

might not be able to make, that all depends on how jeffrey wrestles lol. but hopefully we make it.

I was referring to meeting you personally...not meeting little Nix on the mat. But hopefully they can meet up there also a few rounds into the bracket which means they will both be doing pretty good.

kmac i knew what you was talking about lol i was refeering it to vanfam7 about the end of march don;t think we will make that unless jeffrey pulls a upset at districts , i believe we will make it past subdisticts but either way we will see you in ottawa. and hopefully we will see kale on the mat as well. i might need 3 wishes to make that happen for jeffrey...

Well, the VanAnne family will be in Topeka even if Ethin doesn't qualify(hope he does though!). We'll go to watch his friends & club members that qualify and to see how his bracket goes. We have taken him there every year since he was five. Just so he could see what it was like. Even when he hasn't qualified. He enjoys watching all the wrestling. Especially the HS boys. Also, we enjoy volunteering to help with setting up. A big family weekend for us! We can't wait!!

best wishes for ethin to qualify, even if jeffrey did not qualify i would love to take him, but thats a long way from scott city, be about 12 hours round trip.

Yea, its been fun posting with all of you and if you see me at any tourns just stop me and tell me who you are. I'll be the big guy in the Jr Vikings tshirt next to the wrestler named Kolton Meditz. I too look forward to reading all the words of wisdom on here each day...lol, I'm either a big fan or I have no life. None the less I would love to put faces with the names, so please say hi if you can.

We only live 2 hours away & lucky to have family to stay with in Topeka. I'll be one of the ones with the SEK t-shirt with VanAnne on the back. Ethin has four older sisters (23,21,17,13) that will be there to cheer him on. My husband (his Dad) will be matside with him. I will be the one in the stands with the camcorder having a nervous break down! LOL!! See you there!

good luck to all those chanute kids. that being my hometown i still like to see those kids do well. except when my son wrestles one. its fun to watch the people you grew up with and to sit there and watch each others kids wrestle.

Contrary to my previous post as the bleacher nazi, this has been one of our favorite seasons yet, as we have met some really great wrestlers and families. We enjoy cheering just as enthusiastically for friends!

I tell my husband regularly that being addicted to the talk forums is cheaper then eBay...

Thanks to all of you who helped make this such a great season. Look forward to seeing everyone in freestyle...
